Blake Shelton Compares Gwen Stefani to Dolly Parton — And His Reason Will Melt Your Heart.LC
It’s no secret that Blake Shelton adores Gwen Stefani, but his latest tribute to her is one for the history books. In a heartfelt interview that has fans swooning, the God’s Country singer revealed that Gwen reminds him of another powerhouse icon — Dolly Parton.
“Gwen’s the kind of person who’s lit from within,” Shelton said. “She’s got this light that comes from her heart — just like Dolly. They both make people feel better just by being around them.”
For Shelton, that comparison goes far beyond music or fame. “It’s not about how she looks, or even how she sings — though I think she’s the best,” he laughed. “It’s about her spirit. Her joy. Her faith. She has this peace about her that draws people in. It’s something you can’t fake.”
Shelton’s words struck a chord with fans who have followed the couple’s incredible journey — from heartbreak and healing on The Voice set in 2015, to their fairy-tale wedding on Blake’s Oklahoma ranch in 2021. What started as two stars bonding over mutual pain has turned into one of entertainment’s most authentic love stories.
In the interview, Blake also opened up about how Gwen has deepened his faith and changed his perspective on life. “She lives what she believes,” he said. “She doesn’t just talk about faith — she shows it every day, in how she treats people, how she forgives, how she loves. Being with her has made me want to be better.”
Those words echo the same humility and sincerity often used to describe Dolly Parton — another artist known for blending fame with faith. Both women, Blake said, “have that rare ability to shine light into the world, and make people feel seen, loved, and hopeful.”
Fans online were quick to react, with one post reading:
“When Blake Shelton compares Gwen Stefani to Dolly Parton, you know it’s real. That’s not a compliment — that’s a legacy.” 🌹
Others pointed out how the couple’s relationship seems rooted in gratitude rather than glamour. “They’ve both been through heartbreak, fame, and pressure,” one fan wrote. “But together, they found peace. That’s the kind of love that lasts.”
Blake and Gwen continue to balance music, family, and ranch life with a love story that feels refreshingly down-to-earth. And now, thanks to one heartfelt comparison, fans are seeing that behind the celebrity sparkle lies something much deeper — a faith-filled, soul-connected partnership that reminds us all what true love looks like.
“She’s my best friend, my partner, my peace,” Blake said softly.
“If you see her smile, you’ll understand everything.” 💞
